Folding a napkin into a ring holder is quite simple and can add elegance and beauty to any table setting. Here are the steps to follow in order to fold a napkin into a typical ring holder shape.
First, flatten the napkin out onto a flat surface. Then, fold one corner of the napkin to meet the opposite corner, so that the napkin forms a triangle.
Next, fold the edges of the triangle inwards so they overlap in the middle of the triangle. Then, fold the triangle in half, so that the edge of the folded sides meet in the middle. Now the napkin will be shaped like a fan.
Finally, roll up the fan shape until the ends meet, forming a doughnut-like shape. Adjust the doughnut shape to make sure all the edges are lined up so the holder looks even. Place a ring in the center of the doughnut-shaped holder.
This is now a napkin ring holder.
